I’m interested in this for my Mk2. When will you do them?

Adam, I just received that window from George. Very nice piece and it will work nicely on my RCR. Gale

Hi Adam, George sold me the one he got from you, so I don't need to be on the list now. I appreciate you responding. Thank you. Gale

I’m a bit late to the party on this but I would like to get one for my RCR.

Major components installed.

I've installed an FE in my car with the 930 trans-axle. It's a tight fit and the exhaust had to be routed with a bit of imagination but its in. The alternator and the compressor will be tight as well but it looks like it will work without opening up holes in the tub. Fran told me the biggest...

Great buy. I wish mine was as far along. What was your source for the rod type shifter? Gale

I read about Sarto's tool on an different thread here a couple of weeks ago and checked out his website. I liked what I saw and had read so I contacted him. He was great to work with and I had the tool in 2 days. It looks just as good in my hand as it does in the pictures and I tried it on the...

Hello Now for the age old question, what are you going to do for fuel pumps? I'm also interesting in what sort of padding if any you will be using around the tanks. Gale

This seems like a good time to ask about the Edelbrock power package dual quad setup that is on my FE. The guys at Edelbrock told me that I could use the 1791 fuel pump to run my engine. It is rated at 120 GPH. 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 to run the carbs. I would like to have a look more what was seen on...

I waited to start building. I look back at the time lost because I didn’t think I would be able to devote the time to get it done. Looking back now what difference does it make if it take 5 to 7 or more years. Work at a pace that you’re comfortable with, do the family things, do the work things...

Interesting question. Why does phase mater? Further, what would be in phase? I’m going to go have a look at mine. I didn’t know about this.

While reading thru your build I saw a mention of parrot beak hing fittings for the rear body. I didn’t see whether you fabricated them or bought them? Gale

I had this problem on my race car. What i did was warm the engine to reflect the problem and then disconnected the cable at the carbs linkage and checked to see if it would return to idle. It did...repeatedly. I lubber the system and made adjustments and still had the problem. I replaced the...

Poor picture I suppose. Looks pretty much like standard chopper gun work. I've found a couple of small voids in sharp corners where the mat didn't get pressed in or pulled away. Nothing big though.
